We got 123 points for beating Montenegro.

2 more wins like that and we would be in the 3rd European Pot for Championship Qualifiers.

This is why we need to play a few more friendlies to get us up there and give ourselves a chance!

Good idea.
But I think I read friendliest hold far less points than qualifiers.

friendlies hold far less points. u get more points for qualifiers and even more for major competitions.

u also get more points for the higher ranked opponants

scoreline does not affect it. if u lose u get 0 points no matter how well u play also

Friendlies are useful though for, match fitness, tactics and team selection. :ayatollah:
